Sequel to: Raspberry danish murder.
It’s Christmas many years ago, and topping young Hannah Swensen’s wish list is becoming the go-to baker in Lake Eden, Minnesota. But as Hannah finds out, revisiting holiday memories can be murder . . . With her dream of opening The Cookie Jar taking shape, Hannah’s life matches the hectic December hustle and bustle in Lake Eden--especially when she agrees to help recreate a spectacular Christmas Ball from the past in honor of Essie Granger, an elderly local in hospice care. But instead of poring over decadent dessert recipes for the merry festivities, she instantly becomes enthralled by Essie’s old notebooks and the tale of a woman escaping danger on the streets of New York. Hannah’s surprised by Essie’s secret talent for penning crime fiction. She’s even more surprised when the story turns real. As Hannah prepares to run a bakery and move out of her mother’s house, it’ll be a true miracle if she can prevent another Yuletide disaster by solving a mystery as dense as a Christmas fruitcake . . .

A prequel to the series submitted by jcottey on July 3, 2019, 10:29pm This story tells how Hannah came to have her shop, The Cookie Jar. There is a story within the story, as Hannah and her family read from journals written by an older woman in town. The murder mystery doesn’t happen until near the very end and is resolved a little too quickly for my liking.

Fun Light Tale submitted by Gr33nl3af on August 23, 2023, 4:52pm This was a fun light tale. I always wished it would have been written earlier in the series. It certainly explains a lot!
